Chipembere Community Development Organization is a registered Malawian Youth-led Organization that exists to promote interventions that build the well-being of under-privileged women, children youth elderly,and disabled to have quality hygiene and sanitation

Background

The organization was formed against the background of non-recognition of rural women and young people’s initiatives in spite of their enormous contribution to the country’s economy.

CCDO “envisages that all rural young people’s development is fostered, protected from neglected, exploitation, abandonment and are empowered to become self-reliant and responsible citizens in societies where democratic values and principles are respected.”

The organization was further formed against the background of continued regard of rural youth and young women as the most vulnerable groups and immature in decision making. Despite the most dynamic contributions of the youth to national development, they are not recognized. All credits are unfairly given to older people as duty bearers especially men.
